Profile:
The diminutive "Tich" Cornford (only just over 5 feet tall), was
a solid county wicket-keeper for Sussex, known for his ability
to stand up to the quick bowling of Tate and Gilligan. His 665
catches and 344 stumpings gave him a tidy career total of 1000
dismissals in first-class cricket in a 26 year career. He played
his Test cricket in the first England-New Zealand series in
1929-30 (Dave Liverman, 1998).
